Make ApptiveGrid deadlines easier to remember
Have an approaching deadline turn into a Slack reminder, with the task context close at hand.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a reminder
Creates a slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every thursday at 2pm').
Why this helps
A date stored in a grid is easy to miss when your working day is spread across tools.
- Surface time-sensitive work in Slack.
- Keep the reminder tied to the record context supplied by the webhook.
- Reduce reliance on memory and repeated date checks.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ApptiveGrid and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis or tell Notis what deadline outcome you want.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Slack reminder from deadline details in the request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real deadline and a valid reminder time.
Questions about this workflow
Does this detect dates in ApptiveGrid automatically?
No ApptiveGrid trigger events are available here. An HTTP request must start the Notis webhook with the relevant deadline details.
What if the webhook does not include a time?
Provide a usable reminder time in the request or the automation instruction. The reminder action needs a time.
